ANSWER 1
- Formation of a gas
- Formation of a precipitate
- Change in color
- Change in temperature
- Change in odor

The presence of these signs indicates that a chemical change has taken place. These signs show that the substances involved have undergone a chemical reaction, resulting in new substances being formed.

ANSWER 2
As the pancakes are cooked, they change both physically and chemically. Physically, the pancakes change in color, texture, and shape as they are heated. Chemically, the batter undergoes a reaction with the heat, causing the pancakes to brown and develop a different taste.

ANSWER 3
The appearance of the iron garden tools with spots of a reddish-brown, flaky substance indicates a chemical change has taken place. This is likely the result of oxidation of the iron, which forms iron oxide (rust). Rust formation is a chemical change as new substances are formed.
